As of September 1st I will be starting my first solo grow room. Its going to be a legal grow under California's prop 215. As such, I will be staying under the legal limit of 6 mature plants per patient. I will be growing for 8 patients, which affords me 48 mature plants. After a lot of research, here are the details of my grow plan.
8 x 8 Grow room inside a 10 x 11 bedroom.
4 3x3 Trays Ebb and Flow in Rockwool over Coco Mats
1 600W per 3x3 Tray
12 plants per tray (Limited due to # of Medical Cards)
Achieve a perpetual harvest by staggering each 3x3 tray 2-3 weeks (based on strain’s total flowering time).
Potential Equipment List:
600W Lumatek HPS with Hortilux bulb: $350 x 4

Econojet 3x3 Ebb and Flow Hydroponic System: $350 x 4

Growbright Inline Fan 6” 424 cfm and Charcoal Filter combo: $200

12 6” Rockwool and 3x3 Coco Mat: $150
Best places to find these?
Wood, Nails, Reflective Siding etc... for the Grow Room inside the Room: $100
Thermostat, pH Testers, etc... $200
Best deals on these?
I would like advice on a couple things. First and foremost I need to select a strain. Ideally Indica or Indica dominant, although 50/50s would be ok. The main considerations are Veg and Flowering times in weeks, and how much weight per plant can be harvested. Put these two considerations together and you get an average weight per week per plant number (how inelegant was that!). A strain with a higher number is better. I obviously want a strain with the highest number possible since I am limited in the number of plants I can grow. This is also why I shied away from a SoG operation which generally favors a large number of smaller plants. If I am looking at this the wrong way, please let me know...as a SoG operation looks great otherwise.
Secondly, I am curious about people’s thoughts on having NO veg time for your clones. I read about the idea in this thread:
https://www.rollitup.org/hydroponics-aeroponics/6592-get-harvest-every-2-weeks.html
and want to know if I can do the same thing with the operation I have proposed here. This again comes back to maximizing based on plant limits.
Third: what are people’s thoughts on the equipment list and the prices for them. I am looking for top quality products at the best price, so if someone knows where to get better deals for the best stuff, let me know!
Next: any holes or potential problems with my plan? Speak up now! I only have 2 weeks to finalize before purchasing everything and starting 1 week after that. Also, general advice and recommendations for flood timings, nutrient combos, etc... are all greatly appreciated.
Lastly, am I missing anything with regards to CA prop 215 laws? I am trying to stay legal (state wise at least) 100%.
